Three Months

Today marks three months since the stroke.  Feels like the three months just whizzzed by. 

 I started the generic Metamucil today, starting off with one capsule instead of the serving size of six.  I took the capsule around 5pm, not sure if its because of it but it seemed like I got fuller faster during dinner, and dinner was basically just a big salad.  Planning on adding a capsule every couple days till I reach three.  I think that's really all I need for now.  Will try to just eat more soluble fiber instead.

Tomorrow will be one week off the lipitor.  Muscles still hurt. 

Overall, I feel pretty good.  BP is low, seems to be consistent for the most part, some days dips a little lower but still nothing lower than 100/80.  Not noticing brain farts, though mind drifts off, even when driving sometimes which is a little scary.  I think once the muscle pains go away, my body will start feeling "normal" again.  Hoping to feel stronger so I can start exercising with the dogs a little more.  School has started, work is supposed to slow down a little.  Would like to go hiking again, especially as the weather cools down.

Not sure if I'm just tired from working a lot lately but energy level seems on the low side.  Just doing what needs to be done.  Nothing extra.  Not feeling up to accomplishing things, not feeling productive.  Feeling lazy.  Feeling blah.
